It was some specious argument about wanting more mature men coming into the league.
-
Also that training camp report is totally bogus and I'm not buying any of it for a second.
-
Peterson's still a beast but he's not the most patient runner in the world. Maybe it's the blocking. A few years ago they were wrecking teams with that stretch/zone blocking play where AD would get on the 2nd level and just run by/over people. Seemed like it got stuffed a lot last year.

Brad Childress looks like a pedophile.

Bulls @ OKC on 10/27 to open the season. Should be a good one. First Miami @ Cle game is 12/2 on TNT.

I believe the technical term is "only sulley's teams." -
I remember Kiper seemed to think he was one of the guys in that draft who could become an NFL starter down the line. He ended up undrafted, but what do we really know about Hanie at this point? I don't mind stashing him on the roster if he's a developmental type guy. Is he expected to be second on the depth chart? Yeah. I read on one of the ESPN columns the other day that because of Martz installing a new offense that the 3rd and 4th string guys aren't even getting any snaps in camp. It's all Cutler and Hanie.
-
On a related note, I'd like to look at Brian Schottenheimer as a potential head coaching candidate if (when) Lovie gets canned after this year. If you're not gonna go after a big fish like Cowher or Gruden he's the kind of young, offensive mind I'd be interested in.

It's the NFL. There's only one lock every season and that's Peyton Manning winning 12 games. Everything else is a bit of a crapshoot. If Sanchez develops they'll win a lot of games, IMO. If he sucks, they'll struggle because they probably won't be as good in the other phases as they were last year. I think they just have less question marks outside of QB than most teams. I'd kill for their line play. Shonn Greene is gonna put up 1300 yards and 10 touches easily if he's healthy. LdT is a bum though.

John Tesh's Roundball Rock is a national treasure.
-
It just won't be the same as it was on the NBA on NBC. Still cool though.
-
The Jets new cornerback knows how much of a beast Greene is. http://i45.tinypic.com/5kkln4.jpg
-
Why is Caleb Hanie even in the NFL?
-
They also made it to the AFC Championship Game and were leading until Peyton went into God mode. So they squeezed in but they have a lot to build on (if Revis plays of course). I don't think they'll miss Thomas Jones too much...they'll have Edwards for the whole year and they brought in Holmes to help out. Sanchez will have a lot more of the playbook open to him this season.
-
It must be nice being a Cowboys fan knowing you'll get all the coverage you could want with Ed Werder having been parked up Jerry's colon for the last decade. Meanwhile the Bears get as much coverage as Tampa Bay. Largest unshared football market in the country and they have no [expletive] clue how to market th team.
-
27 different metrics? That's as many dimensions of compatability as eHarmony uses!
-
I haven't listened to Lovie in years. Even among NFL coaches where saying a bunch of words without saying anything at all is an art form, he's a stand out.
-
Schefter and Seifert both say Cutler threw to the TEs a lot. Probably playing it up for the ESPN guys before they leave town so they can go talk about the Cowboys some more.
-
Yep, the Pats have been looking at him.
-
I'll give Urlacher the benefit of the doubt. I think it was a freak injury. Whoever even heard of a dislocated wrist? Briggs has missed 3 games in 7 years.

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread
SpongeWorthy replied to Prizefight's topic in Other Sports
Yeah I get that. 26 is an old rookie considering how many sub 23s are leading their teams. Still is it out of the question that he settles in nicely as an above average goalie? I'm not questioning the move, just wondering. -
Peanut and Briggs are older. Urlacher and Pisa basically had a year off and that allowed some young LBers to get on the field. Ogun/Brown to Pep/Anderson is younger on balance. Tommie isn't too old he's just inconsistent and hurt a lot. I'll give you the offensive line...they can't possibly be worse at run blocking though. Cutler may get killed, however. Of course it is the NFL and teams collapse/rise all the time in one season all the time.

Is Niemi already a finished product? Wasn't he basically a rookie last year? -
I just don't understand how we got worse over the offseason. 5-11 is predicting an utterly disastrous season for Cutler isn't it? The defense should be better. Whatever, preseason football predictions mean squat.
